A Contribuição do Pensamento de Edgar Morin

Abstract

This paper aims to analyse the contribution of Edgar Morin’s thinking to Environmental Education. The increasing deterioration of the environment has led some social segments to pay attention on education as a possibility to understand the environmental issues and to contribute to overcoming the dichotomous relationship between society and nature. In this sense, Edgar Morin’s thinking seem to indicate an interesting way to an environmental education conception that contributes to the construction of the “paradigm of complexity”, crucial for the overcoming of the predominant way of thinking in occidental world, above all, from the modernity.
